FOOT-WARMER.

Specification forming part ofLettevs Patent N0. 52,593, dated February13, 1866.

To all whom it may concern:

.'Be it known that I, J. II. PARsONs,ot` Quinoy, in the county ot'Branch and State of Michi gan, have invented a new and usefulImprovement in Foot-Warmers; and I do hereby d-e- 'clare that. thefollowing is a. full, clear, and exact description thereof', which willenable those skilled in the art to make and use the saine, referencebein g had to the accompanylngdrawings, forming part-,of thisspecification, in which- .Y A

Figure 1 is a side View, partly in section, through the line .e Fig. 2,of my improved warmer. Fig. 2 is a top View ot'lthe same.

Similar letters ot' reference` indicate corresponding parts.

The object of my invention is to'l'urnish a foot-Warmer by means ofwhich the feet 'may be warmed conveniently without danger of burning thesoles ot' the boots orx shoeswhile warming the feet; and it consists ofa box or drum resting on the iioor of the room and conneeted with thestove-pipe by small pipes, as hereinafter more fully described.

I make the bottom and ends of the Warmer A ot wood, and line them on theinside with sheet-iron. The top and side of the warmer I make ofsheet-iron. In the front side of the Warmer I, form an opening, whichmaybe closed by a cap or sliding door, B. Through this openihg thewarmer may be cleaned out when necessary. In the backside qot' thewarmer A, I forni two holes for the attachment of two small pipes, C andD. lThese pipesl lead from the warmer- A to the stove-pipe 'E,

which they enter, the one a lttle higher up than the other, so as toleave suiiicient space between the openings through which they enter thesaid pipe E for a damper', F. 'The box or drum A may be niade of anydesired shape or size, and the pipes G and I) should be so large as toconvey enough heated air to the warmer to heat it suiciently. When usedthe d rum or box A ofthe warmer is placed.

uponthe floor and connected with the pipe E by the pipes C and D.

- By turning the damper F the heated Aair isv made to enter the lowerpipe, U, pass through said pipe to the drum or box A, which it heats:thence it passes through the pipeD to the stoycpipe E, above the damperF.

I claim. as new and desire to secure by Letters Patentv A foot-warmerformed by connecting the drum Aorbox Aof the warmer with an ordinarystove-pipe by means of the small pipes C and D, substantially asdescribed, and for the purpose set forth.
